A BEGINNER’S GUIDE
TO PLANTING TREES
FAMILY FEATURES
From improved
air quality and
increased wildlife
habitation to enhanced
property values
and aesthetics,
planting trees offers
numerous benefi ts
that contribute to a
healthier environment
and more beautiful landscape.
However, selecting the right tree is crucial for ensuring
its long-term health and compatibility with your property.
Consider factors such as soil type, climate and the tree’s
size when fully mature as well as your purpose for planting
the tree - such as shade, fruit or ornamental beauty - to help
narrow down your choices and select a tree that meets your
requirements.
Once you’ve selected the perfect tree (or trees) for your
property, follow these steps to plant a tree that will thrive
for years to come.
1. Choose a location that offers ample space for the
tree’s roots and canopy to grow. Avoid areas with overhead
power lines or underground utilities.
2. Test the soil drainage in the chosen location by digging
a hole and fi lling it with water. If the water drains
within a few hours, the soil has acceptable drainage. If it
takes longer, select a different site or add organic matter
to the soil.
3. Dig a hole 2-3 three times wider than the tree’s root
ball but no deeper than its height to encourage the roots
to grow outward into the surrounding soil.
4. Remove the tree from its container or burlap wrapping,
taking care not to damage the roots.
5. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring the root fl are
(where the roots spread at the base of the tree) is level
with or slightly above ground level.
6. Backfi ll the hole with excavated soil, tamping it down
gently to eliminate air pockets.
7. Water the tree thoroughly to provide initial moisture
to the roots.
8. Apply a 2-3-inch layer of mulch around the base,
keeping it away from the trunk to prevent rot.
As your tree grows, periodic maintenance can help ensure
its health and structural integrity. Water regularly, especially
during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently
moist but not waterlogged. Prune the tree to remove dead or
diseased branches and shape its growth. Fertilize as needed
based on soil test results and tree species requirements.
If you have questions, local nurseries or county extension
offi ces can provide recommendations tailored to your region.
